- PURPOSE: The purpose of this retrospective study was to assess the incidence of the neurosensory disturbance (NSD) after sagittal split osteotomy and evaluate NSD in relation to patient age, gender, satisfaction, and effect of steroids. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Questionnaires were mailed to all patients (31 women, 19 men) who underwent bilateral sagittal split osteotomy between 1995 and 1999, at least 1 year after the operation. Patients were queried about perceived NSD in the distribution of both inferior alveolar and lingual nerves, duration of these changes, and any influence of these changes on their quality of life. RESULTS: Eightysix percent of the mailed questionnaires were returned and analyzed (27 women, 16 men). Eight patients with 10 affected sides (11.6% of sides) reported long lasting NSD correspond-ing to the distribution of the inferior alveolar nerve. NSD was re-ported in 16.7% of the operated sides in women, while 3% of the operated sides in the men had such changes. Fifty percent of the operated sides in patients over 40 years of age were affected. Steroid treatment seemed to decrease NSD. Four patients (9%) were not satisfied, but only 1 attributed the dissatisfaction to sensory impairment. CONCLUSION: The incidence of NSD after sagittal split osteotomy in-creases in patients over the age of 40. Steroid regimen might be beneficial in reducing NSD after sagittal split osteotomy, although further investigation is required. The discomfort of the nerve damage seems outweighed by the result of function and esthetics.

- Purpose: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of perioperatively systemically administered betamethasone on nerve recovery (within or outside a confined space) after induced nerve crush injury. Materials and Methods: The sciatic nerve of 40 adult Wistar rats was crushed. In half of the animals, the injured nerve was entrapped in a silicone tube to simulate the environment of a closed space, and in the other half the nerve was left to heal. Half of the rats in each group were treated with subcutaneous betamethasone (2 mg/kg body weight/day) during the first 24 hours, starting preoperatively, whereas the other half, the control animals, were given the same amount of physiological saline. All animals underwent preoperative and postoperative walking track analysis (toe spread [TS] and intermediate toe spread [ITS]) twice weekly for 6 weeks. Results: For nonconfined space groups, there was no significant difference between the 2 groups (P=.052 for ITS and P =.315 for TS) during the first 2 weeks. Starting from the end of the second week, animals treated with betamethasone recovered more rapidly than did the controls (P <.001) and continued to do so until the end of the observation period. In the confined space groups, there was a significant difference between the 2 groups for ITS (P <.001) and for TS (P <.05) during the first 2 weeks. The difference continued at almost the same level of significance (P =.001) for ITS, whereas for TS, the difference disappeared after the second week. Conclusions: We conclude that short-term perioperative administration of betamethasone has a beneficial effect on the recovery of the injured rat sciatic nerve.

- Purpose: Paramedial mandibulotomy facilitates access for the resection of tumors in the oral and oropharyngeal space; however, severe complications related to surgical techniques and radiotherapy have been reported for this procedure. This study evaluated whether preservation of the periosteum during a mandibulotomy would decrease postoperative complications owing to the increased healing capacity provided by preserving more tissue. Materials and Methods: Patients who underwent mandibulotomy for surgical tumor ablation from 2007 through 2012 were included in a retrospective controlled cohort study. The trial was comprised of 2 groups: 1 group underwent subperiosteal and 1 group underwent supraperiosteal surgical dissection in the area of the mandibulotomy. The primary predictor variable was surgical technique and the primary outcome variable was surgical complications. The groups were matched according to tumor type, age, and gender. Clinical and radiographic follow-up was performed 12 months after surgery. Complications regarding bone exposure, plate exposure, osteoradionecrosis, nonunion, infection of the soft tissue flap, abscesses, fistulas, and gingival necrosis were recorded. Recordings of other factors, such as age, smoking habits, and timing of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, were performed and the 2 groups were compared for postoperative complications. Data analysis used the c2 test (Fisher exact test) to compare the sub- and supraperiosteal groups for postoperative complications. Results: Thirty-two patients were included (16 per group; 14 women and 18 men; mean age, 56 yr). Thir- teen patients in the subperiosteal group and 7 in the supraperiosteal group showed complications during the first 12 months. Seven patients had complications that persisted to the 12-month follow-up (6 in the subperiosteal group and 1 in the supraperiosteal group); however, the difference was not statistically relevant. Conclusion: This study found more persistent complications in the subperiosteal group compared with the supraperiosteal group at 12-month follow-up, which could imply that a more tissue-preserving surgical technique promotes mandibular healing in patients undergoing mandibular access osteotomy in combination with radiotherapy.

- Tobacco use is considered to increase the risk of tumor induction. The purpose of this case-controlled investigation was to assess the association of tobacco habits and development of squamous cell carcinoma of the lower lip. Sixty-one patients treated for lower lip cancer, aged between 42 and 90 years, were studied. Age- and sex-matched healthy controls showed a similar exposure to tobacco in years and a comparable distribution of tobacco habits. Although the mean exposure factor (duration times exposure) was greater in the tumor group, no intimate correlation between lip cancer and tobacco was demonstrated. However, an increased, although small, occurrence of herpes labialis lesions was found in cancer patients. The hypothesis is presented that smokers experiencing recurrent herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) infections are more liable to tumor initiation, which issue will be subjected to a future study.

- Purpose: To integrate the available data published on ameloblastic fibrodentinoma (AFD) and ameloblastic fibro-odontoma (AFO) into a comprehensive analysis of its clinical/radiologic features. Methods: An electronic search was undertaken in August/2016. Eligibility criteria included publications reporting cases of AFD and/or AFO having enough clinical, radiological and histological information to confirm the diagnosis. Demographic data, lesion site and size, treatment approach, and recurrence were analyzed and compared between AFD and AFO. Results: 55 publications reporting 64 AFDs (60 central, 4 peripheral) and 137 publications reporting 215 AFOs (211 central, 3 peripheral, 1 unknown) were included. The difference in recurrence rate (when the information about recurrence was provided) was not statistically significant. The mean age of the patients affected by AFD was not statistically significantly different from those affected by AFO. Conclusions: AFD and AFO presented several similarities: higher prevalence in males and in mandibles, similar patients’ mean age, rate of cortical bone perforation and of the lesions’ association with displaced/unerupted teeth and tooth root resorption, mean lesion size, and recurrence rate. The lesions differed with regard to the presence of radiopacities and locularity. Taken together, our data do not support the concept of progressive maturation of these tumoral conditions.

Survival and complications of zygomatic implants : an updated systematic review
- 2016
-
Ingår i: Journal of oral and maxillofacial surgery (Print). - : Elsevier. - 0278-2391 .- 1531-5053. ; 74:10, s. 1949-1964

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- Purpose. To assess the survival rate of zygomatic implants (ZIs) and the prevalence of complications based on previously published studies. Methods. An electronic search was performed in December/2015 in three databases and was supplemented by hand-searching. Clinical series of ZIs were included. Interval survival rate (ISR) and cumulative survival rate (CSR) were calculated. The untransformed proportion of complications (sinusitis, soft tissue infection, paresthesia, oroantral fistulas) was calculated, considering the prevalence reported in the studies. Results. Sixty-eight studies were included, comprising 4556 ZIs in 2161 patients, with 103 failures. The 12-year CSR was 95.21%. Most failures were detected within the six-month postsurgical period. Studies (n=26) that exclusively evaluated immediate loading showed a statistically lower ZI failure rate than studies (n=34) evaluating delayed loading protocols (P=0.003). Studies (n=5) evaluating ZIs for the rehabilitation of patients after maxillary resections presented lower survival rates. The probability of presenting postoperative complications with ZIs was as follows: sinusitis 2.4% (95%CI 1.8-3.0), soft tissue infection 2.0% (95%CI 1.2-2.8), paresthesia 1.0% (95%CI 0.5-1.4), oroantral fistulas 0.4% (95%CI 0.1-0.6). However, these numbers may be underestimated, as many studies failed to mention the prevalence of these complications. Conclusion. ZIs present a high 12-year CSR, with most failures occurring at the early stages postoperatively. The main observed complication related to ZIs was sinusitis, which may appear several years after ZI installation surgery.
